Thanks Cathryn for flagging this text and Brian's post. Indeed, it must have been clear that persons were deported into a context in which enforced disappearances are very likely to occur.

Prof Cathryn Costello@profccostello.bsky.social · 2y ago

@grabaranowska.bsky.social - something to write more about?

Ich darf etwas verkünden, der von mir bearbeitete Kodex Grund- und Menschenrechte wurde soeben veröffentlicht. Alle wesentlichen Verträge und sonstigen Materialien in einer Sammlung. Heute wohl wichtiger denn je.

@jtheilen.bsky.social asks whether human rights can serve as a progressive standard in matters of migration and finds that there is "good reason for caution when engaging with human rights law and specifically when considering strategic litigation before the ECtHR."

Jens Theilen@jtheilen.bsky.social · 2y ago
